I got a brand new handle spring assembly on eBay and was delivered yesterday. I’m thinking about taking this and the Classic III case to the Kirby shop soon.

Bryan1980, the ones on the left are brand new and the old ones on the right are from my Classic III. Last night I checked the ones on my Heritage II and they still got lots of life left!

Rivstg1, I’ll probably bring the Classic III case to the shop after thanksgiving and get a new handle spring.

TexasKirbyGuy, is your local Kirby shop located between Parker rd and Custer rd? I’ve been there before and it’s a nice little shop! That’s where I got my ‘71 Classic 1cr for about $25.

KirbyClassicIII, would you have to use the spring tool as well? That one single tool is expensive!

I’m not sure if I mentioned about this before for my Kirby Classic III but it has a bad case of dropping handle and I believe it needs a new handle spring. Should I buy a new handle spring or take it to a Kirby shop? I also have a another Classic III being used for parts and it has a handle...

Ok that’s good, thanx!

This was meant to be in the vintage page.

So I’m in the process of placing new carbon brushes on my Kirbys Classic III and Heritage II. I pulled out the old carbon brushes from my Classic III and I don’t know what do you think? Should I put the new ones on yet or leave the old ones back in?

Oh man which one which? Rivstg1 or KirbyCollector?

KirbyCollector, I can give it to you as a gift! What’s your address?

TexasKirbyGuy, the Classic III sounds kinda quiet and a little high pitch too. Plus the metal fan isn’t going to the trash hopefully someone around here wants it. And yes we’re hoping to move to Prosper.

Huskyvacs, would you like to have the metal fan?

Great news! Got the metal fan out and installed the new kevlar fan plus my stepdad helped me get the screw out.

Lesinutah, here’s where the screw is.

KirbyClassicIII, didn’t you have a problem with a striped screw from a Kirby vacuum before?

KirbyClassicIII, the pulley on the fan is rusty looking. Plus I did saw that kevlar is a lot stronger and long lasting than the metal and lexan.

bnsd60m9200, so pledge is not a good idea correct?

And also a little loud.

bnsd60m9200, the metal fan is a bit rusty.
